It had better be worth it!

I happen to like steam games... but if you have something against them I'd like to know to see if I was lead down a non-noodle path.

Nothing is Impossible...

And if you believe in one of the multiple universe theories, (don't ask me which I'm no expert... yet...) everything is the truth. Why can't FSM be the truth for this one?

and if you were wondering... The avatar is a thing I did for a graphics arts class I had once... The people are Douglas Adams, Ray Bradbury, and the Ninja from ask a ninja. Two of them are my heroes and one makes me laugh occasionally...

Concurred. As a pirate, I loathe Steam with a passion, but it's not bad if you ain't criminal. Though I remember when it first came out. I cursed it regularly, as it didn't work very well and got in the way of my Counterstrikage.

Vote Pieces for Pope! She didn't buy me off with the funny hat, I swear!... She made me a cardinal.

Hah, I was thinking earlier that I ought to dig this thread up. I received Neverwinter Nights 2 Gold (PC), Prince of Persia: Two Thrones (PC), and Prince of Persia: Rival swords (Wii). Rumour has it that the latter two games are identical (TT was ported to the Wii as RS, this I know), but my brother tells me that I could always regift one (the crafty bastard- his birthday is in about a month).

I am shamed. Despite my previous rant, and my conviction to never get into it again, I have once more fallen into WoW obsession. Though, in my defense, I don't like it for the role-playing, which I still find lacking. I'm just a fan of Warcraft. That's my excuse.

That must've been why you've been absent lately! Now go to the Principal's office and get a tardy slip!I hope you've got a note from your PC doctor!

A flap of the wings yesterday means big changes tomorrow.Let's work together to keep the present inevitable.

That, and work. Work has actually been my main time-suck, lately. Warcraft is up there, though. I'm playing all four simultaneously.

I've been playing some Prince of Persia: Rival Swords. Controls aren't so good. I've taken to just flailing wildly with the wiimote. It works better; if you try to combo, it seems like the controller misses half of your movements. If you never stop moving, eventually it has to attack!

Also, having the camera controls up at the D-pad is not-so-great for people with smaller hands. Reaching that and the 1 and 2 buttons is an issue for me.

Dude, that shit is fucking scary! Faceless nurses trying to stab you with syringes and such (bonus scare points for me since I am deeply phobic of all things medical). I was shaking like crazy and smoked two packs of cigarettes that night, out of pure fear that faceless nurses would stab me with syringes.

On a lighter note, I just beat Civilisation IV with every victory condition possible on the hardest difficulty. That diplomatic victory sure is elusive.
